In previous blogs, I have discussed the risks associated with using outdated versions of Act! Pro. While the reasons are many, SQL security vulnerabilities, the inability to purchase additional licenses, and incompatibility with newer versions of Windows tend to top the list. The fact is, one-time purchase software may initially appear cost-effective, but the licensing model inherently incorporates obsolescence.
I'm happy to report that there is now a much better argument for upgrading, and that is Act! Advantage—a comprehensive suite of marketing, sales, and productivity tools designed to help you grow your business.
With Act! Advantage, you can access powerful features to help you
- Get more leads: includes integrated web forms & surveys, online appointment scheduling, event management, and e-marketing services to create, send, and track email campaigns with ease
- Get more deals: Professional quoting system with interactive quotes, automated follow-ups, reporting, and even payment processing.
- Get more done: A free mobile app, project management, accounting integration, workflow automation, and more.
For as little as $30 monthly, you can subscribe to Act! Advantage and unlock these powerful new features with the database you're using today. And yes, your current custom fields and layouts come over with ease.
Is continuing to use Act! Pro really free?
We understand that transitioning from a perpetual desktop license to a subscription model is a significant change, but consider this. Many Act! Pro users are already spending this amount (or more) each month on 3rd party e-marketing services, namely:
- e-marketing services like Constant Contact or MailChimp
- mobile apps like HHC or CompanionLink
- Calendly for online appointment scheduling
- Survey Monkey for harvesting customer feedback
- and other tools.
Act! Advantage combines all these modern services and more into one modern SaaS CRM solution you already know, with the option to keep the desktop app you already trust. So you get the functionality you're already paying for, plus new integrations you haven't experienced before.
Get more for your business with Act! Advantage.
